1/4
Madeleine speaks frankly about visiting museums growing up but not always being comfortable in those spaces, seeing herself reflected in the 19th-century art history being taught or the faculty teaching the subject.
2/4
There must be a dual effort between academia and museums to make art history more diverse and inclusive – these goals are not distinct!
3/4
Undergraduate courses are where we can impact future art historians – as teaching fellows, we can shape the curriculum, design and organise seminars. Doing this was an opportunity for Madeleine to fill in the gaps in representations of race within 19th century art history.

Our #arthistory PDD panel on Teaching and education featured @LeniaKouneni who is 1 of only 2 permanent lecturers in art history at @univofstandrews and before this held multiple short-term and fixed term contracts.
1/10
She finished her PhD in 2009 and had a short career break in 2012 to have children. Lenia sought out her education-focused position which is teaching focused rather than research focused.
2/10
Teaching-only roles can be perceived as lesser but perceptions are shifting and they are a serious career path – TEF was introduced in 2017 to assess the quality of teaching.

We are kicking of #arthistoryPDD with a welcome address by our chair @GursimOberoi who speaks to the challenges the past year has presented to the professional development of #phd students and #ecr researchers
1/7
Research has been put on hold following the closure of libraries, archives and museums; fellowships have been postponed or, in some cases, cancelled; publications delayed; and, in many cases, our projects have been reframed and remoulded as a result of the pandemic.
2/7
Many of us have paused our work to support our loved ones or volunteered to support the local community. We have vigorously adapted our way of teaching turning to online and hybrid delivery to guide and advise our students.

Ben Street – Freelance art historian, lecturer, and writer – graduated twenty years ago from University of Edinburgh and has worked in museum education, A-Level and Masters teaching, broadcasting, book writing… its been a patchwork career that Ben couldn’t have imagined!
Ben came from a state 6th form college and hadn’t done art history before university. He found the degree unengaging, but is passionate about engaging the public with art history.
He spent 12 years as an educator in the National Gallery, Dulwich Picture Gallery and Tate working on schools programmes, as a storyteller and lecturer, writing audio guides and doing in-gallery tours
